snakes

[priyawarekar]

i'm a bit confused about pythons.There r frm boa family so do they give birth to living youngs or not coz some sites say they incubate their eggs and also can someone explain me the difference between vivipoures & oviviporous(my spelling may be worng)

[keen2learn]

Viviparous means bearing live young, and oviparous means laying eggs. I'm pretty sure snakes lay eggs, but I'm sure someone will correct me if there are any that don't.

i thought all snakes lay eggs but maybe i am wrong.kool kitty

Pythons lay eggs, but boas do give birth to live young.

The definitions that keen2learn gave are right.

Garter snakes and rattlesnakes, also give birth to live young.
